Default Best Vehicle or Truck for Towing.

Looking to replace the 1994 Caprice Wagon for Towing.
It is a good tow car and versatile for just about everything.
Too bad automakers do not make a wagon platform.

Has the comfort and power for get to Pittsburgh and Empire.
Only problem uses up a 4L60E transmission every 18 months.
Also constant upgrades as things wear out.

Recently installed PerformaBuilt Towing Trans that uses a Truck Casing.
Did remarkably well on the 90 degree weather to Empire.

The Wagon is 26 years old needing constant fixes to maintain reliability.
Fine for back up or less stressful terrain.

So what would be a comparable replacement?
Looked at all the Toyota, Chevy/GM, Dodge and Ford trucks.

So far like the Canyon Denali Turbo Diesel best.
Mid sized, nimble, 7700 lbs tow rating and wife can drive it.
Impala SS, Featherlight Open Trailer, stuff weights under 6000lbs.
Current configuration capability of the Caprice Wagon is 7000lbs.
Canyon has excellent daily fuel economy.

Not ready to buy an enclosed an Enclosed Trailer.
That will require a Truck with tow capability around 10K lbs.
The selection here is more confusing.
Seems the Duramax Trucks are best overall.
But Ford and Dodge have great offerings too.

Your 2 cents is valued.

Feel free to PM me directly your advice.
